I converted my system to openrc earlier, and on one partition x started but network manager was giving me grief... the other partition x wouldn't start. I'm not sure what happend, but i'm gonna do a fresh install tomorrow and try again, hopefully give you guys some logs to look at if it doesn't work properly

For network manager maybe you need networkmanager-openrc if the networkmanager in the repos does not work out..

And I simply forgot to mention the instructions for installing from Artoo's repos..

Step 1) I clone the repository to my hard drive for easy access. I have a git directory in which I keep these git repos. The steps:

cd git-reposgit clone https://github.com/udeved/pkgbuilds.gitNow the repos have been cloned, I can get around to building packages. To update these repos, one has to do git pull to pull in the latest changes.

Step 2) Changing to required directory and making packages.Viking60 wanted scripts for salt, and Rudylorren wanted them for mpd, both of which can be found in the openrc-misc folder. So we change to it. Then we run makepkg -cs to build the packages.

cd pkgbuilds/openrc/openrc-miscmakepkg -csWith this step the packages should be created. To install all of them, one can do makepkg -i, and to install specific packages, one can do sudo pacman -U <package-path>

Plymouth is not supported by openrc, the best you can do is to disable 'splash' kernel boot parameter in your bootloader config.There is an experimental/unstable openrc-plugin for plymouth in gentoo portage tree, but I did not port it.

I feel I answered this already, did I? The split thread confused me here.
